Dearest Friend,
As you well know I've been interviewing people for the play I plan to put on soon. Today I interviewed the great reverend Al Sharpton, a key political figure in the Crown Heights riots. I have to say this is a strange fellow. With all that's happened this man seems more concerned with his famous father figure, and haircut then the riots that have ensued and the death of the little boy and the Jewish man. He is a man of power, and one who knows it, every word is projected with emphasis on the exact calculated words, his words are his weapons they attack the air in loud short bursts. His mannerisms reflect his own self-importance, he seems more preoccupied with his own image particularly his hair, then anything else. This is a very busy man, the interview I had with him was short because I had to pull him from a meeting to have it. His obsession with James Brown and his hair style has to be the most bizarre thing about him, I mean how can this man, A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST, be so preoccupied with himself with all that has happened. I will portray Al in an elaborate suit only the finest things in life for Al Sharpton, the only friend, and somewhat adopted son to the famous James Brown. He shall be center stage with a spotlight on him, as he seems to already have one poised on him in real life, and he thrives in it. He'll be center stage with nothing else on stage save a chair, mirror and a framed picture of James Brown. I shall portray this man preoccupied with himself just as he was in the interview, many glances in the mirror, longing looks at Jame's picture, that sort of thing. He shall sit sturdy in the chair, a rigid un-moving character. I look forward to your attendance on opening night.
Best Wishes,
Asa Miller.
